Abstract

In order to investigate the influence of 3D morphology parameters of marble joint surface on its mechanical and seepage characteristics, artificial joints of coarse-grained marbles were scanned by Tianyuan OKIO-typed 3D laser scanner; and then, the professional software was used to obtain the 3D morphology parameters of marble joint surface. Tests of water flowing through a single joint were conducted under different normal stress and feeding water head by using self-developed radial flowing system, and the exponential function between flow rate per head and normal stress, the linear relation between equivalent hydraulic aperture and mechanical aperture, and the linear relation between joint closure and normal stress were obtained. The relationships between regression parameters in above three formulas and 3D morphology parameters of joint surface were also studied by fitting method. All in all, the results may provide a reference to understand the mechanical and seepage characteristics of rough rock joint.
